It improved the stability a lot. |

By letting the mount not tracking the movements I got the camera to scan the moon I got a wider then senor size image of the Moon. |

| Comment : |
My first web camera image, the camera was an ordinary office web cam.
But some one found out that the sensor was of high quality and recommended it for astronomical purpose.
I modified it to take raw images, without the debayer process and then got higher quality out from it. |
